Making a webpage??? Help anyone.

[sg1trogdor]

Hi I was just wondering how to make a website been thinking about it and haven't a clue as to how I should start. Or where to go. Thanks all responses welcome. Just figure I should start now since I am beginning to breed plus I have lots of time (no life) hehe

well if you dont know anything about writing html then i suggest you start with microsoft front page. I have several websites that i update, but when i first started doing them i wrote my own basic html. BUT Front page is much much easier.

Do you have your own web space? Most cable/dsl companies that provide you internet service has about 10 megs worth of space that you can use for free, without advertisments. If you go through geocities etc then more than likely you'll have ads on your page.

If you need anything else let me know.

I would learn some baisc HTML and CSS. Do you know how to use photoshop? You can make really nice designs using that.
Most of the free hosting sites have lots of adds and don't give you a lot of storage space. If you have the money, I would buy a domain and some server space.

I was thinking of buying a domain from godaddy or something. Not sure though. May have my brother do it. lol.

Chris, get a domain name (about $10 a year) and try some of the free or basic (about $12 month) space from someplace like Yahoo and they have a pretty simple program to make a page. I made Raul's page with Microsoft Frontpage (and it's not very good) but since I've purchases a Mac and plan on trying one of their programs as soon as I have some time.

Hope this helps!

Getting your own domain is probably your best bet.
If you need help with web design let me know, I have been making sites since I was 11, haha.

w3schools.com - HTML
w3schools.com - CSS

Think of HTML as the site's bone structure. It's the core structure of your site. Think of CSS as the skin - it's what gives the site it's appealing appearance

Maybe I'm just odd, or maybe it's just because I originally learned to write html using notepad way back in the day... but I usually find myself hand coding everything in Dreamweaver. It all comes down to how much control you want over the source of your page. It's a bit of a learning curve to do straight html/css, but in my opinion it's worth it in the end. Nevermind the fact that I'm currently ready to start banging my head against the wall from working on mine.

If you are thinking about godaddy, I'd redirect you to www.1and1.com instead. I was told they are a lot better than godaddy and so far I'm loving them. Very reasonably priced and their webbuilder program makes it very easy to get a basic webpage up in a day. Nothing super fancy but it suits my needs just fine.

2 things

1. Godaddy rocks. Customer service is top notch .. been working with them for 3 years now.

2. www.joomla.org. Try it out. It has a lot of backing from a large community, and is great for both novice and advanced users. You have as much or as little control over the CSS and HTML as you want, or you can just stick with the basics of the core program and add your info.
